Divorce-moon holidays - fresh starts and new beginnings

Nobody wants to get a divorce, but sometimes, after you’ve given it your all to make it work, it’s just right for everyone. Although it’s a difficult time for all involved, sometimes the best thing to do is treat it as a new beginning, not an ending; put a positive…

Divorce-moon holidays - fresh starts and new beginnings

Recently, we’ve noticed a number of people doing just that, and to “celebrate” this fresh start, new divorcees are booking themselves a great big holiday to mark the occasion.

While the idea of a divorce-moon might sound strange to some, it could be the perfect way for you to get away from it all, recharge your batteries and come back to your life refreshed and ready to face the world again. Here are our tips for booking the perfect post-separation holiday.

Go somewhere you’ve never been before

Forget about the holiday resorts you always used to go to together, this is your chance to visit a new destination; maybe a city you’ve had on your bucket list for a while, or a new country entirely.

It can be somewhere on the other side of the world, or a few hours’ flying time away, as long as you travel to a place that will make you happy, it doesn’t matter where you go!

With experience in over 50 destinations, we are certain we can find you the ideal place for a holiday.

Be adventurous

The beauty of travel is that it allows you to explore your adventurous side, and after a divorce this could be just what you need to kick off your fresh start.

Look at countries and places you would have never even considered when you were a couple; exotic destinations with cultures wildly different from your own, scenic trips with a focus on the great outdoors – the world is your oyster (sorry, but it’s true!).

Whether Southeast Asia catches your eye or a trip to India has really evoked your curiosity, we have experts for so many destinations that will take good care of you.

Know what you want

The key to any holiday is knowing what you want to get out of it beforehand; this is even more vital after something as life changing as a divorce. Think to yourself, “what helps me relax?” and go from there. You might be the type that needs a long, sandy golden beach to unwind.

Perhaps a trip filled with jungle treks and rewarding hikes is more you. Maybe you want a combination, and that’s fine too. With us, you don’t have to just stick to one destination, you can try as many as you have time for.

Don’t limit yourself

Confining yourself to one place is a good way to leave you dwelling on the past, and that’s not what we want. With a multi-centre holiday, you can visit a number of different places and really immerse yourself in a new culture.

Our most popular trips include Thailand, Vietnam, the US and Malaysia, but we have so many more fantastic destinations on offer as well. We can also be flexible with the places you visit on holiday (as long as feasible travel options are available), so if there’s somewhere you really want to go on a trip, just ask and we’ll see what we can do.

Travel with friends

Good friends are essential for getting over any of life’s obstacles, so why not organise a big trip and go away with some of your nearest and dearest? Even if you only have a week to play with, you can still have a great time abroad

A little inspiration

Now that you’ve come around to the idea of a divorce-moon, it’s time to pick somewhere to go! Here are some of our stand-out trips that might be just what you need.

St Lucia & Barbados: Relax in the Caribbean’s beauty by day, gorge yourself in its fantastic restaurants by night – what else do you want out of a holiday? This 14-day trip takes in two of the region’s finest islands and might just be the perfect way to forget about your troubles.

New York & Las Vegas: Short and sweet, this seven-day break will see you take in two of America’s most vibrant party capitals in one go! See the sights of the Big Apple before letting it all go in Sin City.

Cape Town & Mauritius: The perfect combination of paradise and the city, this 14-day trip will see you fall in love with the charm of Cape Town before taking in the pristine beauty of Mauritius. Start the first part of your holiday of with an action-packed South African adventure and then hit the beach and relax.

We have been booking our holidays through Nick at Eshores for quite a few years now and our trips have always been very well organised, Nicks attention to detail is spot on, he knows what types of locations we love, and we trust his opinions and suggestions. That’s the reason we’ve just booked two more…

Many thanks again to Kadie for sorting our holiday. This is the second time and very happy to return for help again after the totally amazing trip she arranged to Vietnam. One small blip on accommodation at one resort last time but eShores staff responded quickly and everything was easily sorted. Highly recommend eShores to…

This is the second time using e-Shores and we can't recommend them highly enough. Emily, who we've worked with on both occasions, is extremely professional, knowledgeable, diligent and has made great suggestions. The process of getting quotes, booking and making payments has been painless and I'd say we will be regular cuatomers going forward.

We travelled with eShores to Andalucia last year, and Emily did an amazing job of compiling an itinerary with good but affordable hotels - we would heartily recommend each one that she chose for us, and all the arrangements between cities worked beautifully. This year we have gone back to her for another holiday and…

This is my second holiday with eshore. The service I received was excellent. Kelly was very professional, understood all my requirements and booked a fantastic holiday for us. It was a very pleasant experience dealing with Kelly and definitely recommend friends to book holidays with her. A real 5 star service.

As always, our go-to girl came through with a fab itinerary for our very last minute booking to USA. Kadie arranged another 3 city break and made sure everything fitted in with our requirements. Always use eShores for our bespoke long distance travels and they never fail to provide excellent service.

eShores is a fantastic company for crafting tailor made itineraries. I have just booked my fourth trip with them, this time to Colombia. Gavin was exceptionally helpful and nothing was too much trouble in meeting my wishes even though it requred a lot of back and forth adjustments. If this is anything like my previous…

I have yet to take the holiday so I can't comment on the hotels and transport provided etc but Nick was very helpful with the booking. Despite me asking numerous questions he sorted out exactly what I asked for within my budget. Thank you

So far our experience with eShores has been great. Of course the real test will be when we are on holiday so hopefully this will continue :)

Nick did exactly what I asked for, was prompt and helpful. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

We had been recommended eshores by a friend who had holidayed in Croatia. We phoned and then used email to communicate with Chris Eaves who made the whole process very easy. He adjusted the holiday to exactly how we wanted it and was very speedy in his replies. We are hoping the holiday goes as…

So this is my second time using eshores and I won’t be going anywhere else to book my future holidays. I gave Claire a horrible job in finding what I needed and kept changing the brief but she persevered and found me the best holiday. I’m going in September and can’t wait. I’ll be back…

Excellent prompt service from Michelle. Hotels she suggested all look amazing and the itinerary for the four areas of Italy looked perfectly planned .

Sandra

Nick was very understanding in as much as we did flex the itinerary quite a bit before booking and we have a holiday package which more than meets our needs.

Great and friendly customer service from Andy, as before. Andy always goes out of his way to find a holiday that matches our requirements.

Excellent service again from Dave. Having booked with e shores on a number of occasions they now understand our parameters. Price, days types of hotels etc.
